Section 3: Call Functions
This section explains how to make or answer a call. This section
also includes the features and functionality associated with
making or answering a call.
Making a Call — Number Entry Dialing
1. With the phone on, enter the number you wish to call using
the keypad.
2. Press to place the call.
Dialing Emergency Numbers
When you call an Emergency Number, such as 911, your phone
locks itself in emergency mode, only allowing you to make calls
to the emergency call center you originally contacted. This
enables emergency operators to more easily dispatch aid, such
as police, fire fighting, and emergency medical personnel.
1. With the phone on, enter 911 using the keypad.
2. Press to place the call.
Important!: Emergency number 911 is preset into your phone. You can dial
this number almost any time, even when the phone is locked or
restricted.
If you call 911 an audible tone is heard and an Emergency
prompt appears in the display for the duration of the call.
Important!: Because of various transmission methods, network parameters,
and user settings necessary to complete a call from your
wireless phone, a connection cannot always be guaranteed.
Therefore, emergency calling may not be available on all
wireless networks at all times.
Important!: DO NOT depend on this phone as a primary method of calling
911 or for any other essential or emergency communications.
Note: You can specify other numbers than 911 as emergency numbers using
the Emergency # settings. (For more information, refer to “Emergency
#” on page 114.)
Dialing International Numbers
1. In standby mode, press and hold until the “+” symbol
appears in the display, or enter the three-digit exit code
(011) for the United States.
2. Enter the country code for the country that you are calling.
3. Enter the number that you wish to call, then press .
Note: Puerto Rico and Canada are on the North American dialing plan. When
making calls to Puerto Rico and Canada it is similar to making calls
within the United States, no unique country codes are necessary.
